April 11, 2012 -The Charlotte Symphony will feature the world premiere of a digitally animated work of art by Matthew Weinstein at the KnightSounds performance of “Bolero Comes Alive” on May 4.

Weinstein’s commissioned piece is a 16-minute original animated video to be displayed on a screen suspended above the orchestra. The audience will experience brilliant animation in sync with the hypnotic music of Ravel’s Bolero.

This is the first commissioned work under the leadership of Music Director Christopher Warren-Green. It will be performed during the Symphony’s new multi-sensory KnightSounds series, which is funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and is becoming part of a new national model for the modern concert-going experience.
